I bought the 22 ton log splitter…
I bought the 22 ton log splitter online. It arrived really fast. The log splitter arrived in three packages. I opened the boxes the next day to start putting the log splitter together. First thing I noticed was how well the product was packed using wood to reinforce the boxes and and plenty of card board to protect the machine parts. Very encouraging at this point. I watched videos and read the instructions prior to putting the product together. I laid everything out and made sure all pieces were present and accounted for. It went together fairly easy just as the video showed. I put all the fluid in the motor and the hydraulic chamber that was supplied in the package. Added gasoline and started up the engine. Watched the hydraulic fluid pump through the clear hydraulic tube. I then pushed the handle forward, as suggested in the manual, to prime the hydraulic pump prior to putting it under load. Nothing happened! I went back through the steps, checking to make sure the hydraulic fluid was at the correct level, then bled the lines. Pulled the lever AND, nothing. I have my house and two short term rental properties that I need to split wood for the kiva and Swiss fireplaces. I now have to hand chop wood with a bad back until I get this figured out. I was hopeful based of reviews I had seen(which was their website). I went on Google to look at reviews and my heart sank. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE is the theme. Due to it being defective, the reviews state you have to do videos, pictures, and a doctoral thesis. Then the website states you have to return it in it original packaging. So I have to take it apart and put it back in the three boxes if I have to return it. Come on customer service, prove them wrong and get it working! 🙏 I will ammend or write a new review based on how Bilt Hard handles my situation.
